Our take

The Yokohama AVID S30B is a touring all-season tire best suited for drivers who value comfort and noise reduction. Its comfort and noise scores both hit the category average of 8, ensuring a pleasant ride. However, the tire's wet grip score of 5.5 is below the category average of 6.9, which could be a concern in wet conditions. In terms of positioning, the AVID S30B lacks a treadwear warranty, unlike competitors such as the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers a mileage warranty. Its UTQG treadwear rating of 320 is also well below the category average of 596, suggesting a shorter overall lifespan. This makes it a less appealing choice for those who rack up high annual mileage. If you're looking for a tire that excels in comfort and noise but don't mind a potentially shorter lifespan, the AVID S30B could be a fit. However, high-mileage drivers or those needing better wet performance might want to consider alternatives like the Continental ProContact TX, which offers a better balance of attributes.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores both hit 8, matching the category average for a smooth and quiet ride.
  • Dry grip rating of 7.5 is competitive within the category, though slightly below the average of 7.8.
  • Handling score of 7.5 aligns well with the category, providing reliable on-road performance.

Cons

  • The lack of a treadwear warranty and low UTQG treadwear rating suggest a shorter lifespan, making it a less economical choice for high-mileage drivers.
  • Wet grip score of 5.5 falls short of the category average of 6.9, which may affect performance in rainy conditions.
  • No treadwear warranty is provided, unlike competitors such as the BFGoodrich Advantage Control, which offers a mileage warranty.
  • Treadwear rating of 320 is well below the category average UTQG of 596, indicating potentially shorter lifespan.
